Here is my cherry blossom engagement session info for 2025. Spring is just around the corner which means Boston will soon be in bloom with beautiful cherry blossoms, lilacs, dogwood, and magnolia trees.

WHEN DO THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS TYPICALLY BLOOM IN BOSTON?
If you want the cherry blossoms to be in bloom then in years past it looks like they were really showing off April 16th and then only had a little left April 23. It depends on the year- sometimes they are peaking the first week of May but I’d still say a majority of the time mid April is the best! I’m always willing to move a session date if our original booked date looks like the cherry blossoms will bloom later than expected. I always scout around my favorite areas in early April, so you’ll never be surprised with no blooms at your session.
WHAT TIME DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH CHERRY BLOSSOM COUPLE SESSIONS IN BOSTON?
I photograph cherry blossom sessions at sunrise Monday-Sunday. Since the beautiful florals only last a short amount of time, I do allow these sessions to take place on weekends. Due to the hundreds of tourists, influencers, and photographers that come in the afternoon, I only photograph cherry blossom sessions at sunrise (it’s totally worth the early wake-up to have the park all to yourselves).
